Is it october yet?!
I wore this outfit on the first day of school (I'm a teacher, so first of september is always an exiting day!)
Ik kocht intussen ook de laatse editie, onder andere voor de Chloë-jas (zooo schoon), maar daar kan ik jammer genoeg nog niet aan beginnen. Toen ik vorig weekend het patroon wou uittekenen bleek het patronenboekje veel te diep verlijmd in het tijdschrift. Ik kon het er dus onmogelijk uithalen zonder de bladen te beschadigen. Bummer! Ik heb er foto's van gemaakt en gemaild naar LMV, in de hoop op een nieuw exemplaar!

I started making this dress somewhere half august, but then left it hanging at my mannequin as an UFO for the rest of the month. Planning our wedding took all of my time and I didn't understand the instructions for installing the facing before starting the project (As always when I read a tutorial beforehand. I tend to forget that when I actually have the project in my hands, making it, I understand things much better. Do you guys now what I mean?). Anyway, the last day of vacation arrived and suddenly I felt the urge to finish it and wear it the next day. Installing the facing turned out to be a piece of cake and an hour later I did the final ironing. Bam! Another favorite piece from La Maison Victor magazine!
I recently purchased the latest issue including the Chloë coat-pattern (soooo pretty) but ended up a little disappointed. When I tried to take out the pattern booklet, I discovered it was glued all crooked into the magazine, making it impossible to take it out without tearing it to pieces. Bummer! I took pictures of it and e-mailed them to the costumers service hoping to get a new copy soon!

My fabric choice was inspired by this picture.
Since the launch of Tilly's book I couldn't wait to lay my hands on it. Her blog is very inspiring and her style refreshing and pretty, in my opinion. But my prohibition on buying new patterns still counts, so I held my horses. Until the day I found it at my local book shop, in Dutch. And suddenly I was at the check-out. I haven't had any regrets since that weak moment, it's a wonderful addition to my sewing book collection and I would really recommend it to all of you. I'll write more about it soon! Anyway, the dress came before the book, I love the black and white hearts!
